As an HRD coordinator
for venues during our seminars and trainings I find it very difficult to
locate a nice venue with a good price. My dilemma is that our company
wants to use a venue which is nice and inexpensive, kind of like a champagne taste
but a beer budget.
Like everyone else I
researched the internet and followed up with calls and ocular inspections.
There are many resorts scattered around MM and nearby areas. I did not find
many blog sites which comment on the various resort hotels offering conference
facilities, therefore I really needed to do some leg work and be resourceful
and inventive. After much work and eyestrain from looking at my computer
screen, I have decided to focus on Bulacan and Antipolo venues. I finally
settled on Antipolo because it is closer and because of the trees and scenery-
also many resorts offer spectacular overlooking views, such as Villa Cristina,
Overlook Resort , Hilltop and Loreland. It’s a mixed bag of venues from small
to medium and large ones. I decided to try Overlook Resort because it is just
the right size for our trainings and seminars and it has a beautiful view of
the city. Plus their website is nice and has many positive testimonials. Best
of all, pasok sa budget namin. Hindi cya fancy. Just the basics. 5
pools which are clean and a big garden with plenty of trees and shade. Bottom
line, we had a good time and our event wasvery successful.
Naka save pa kami.
I hope this blog helps
other HRD and coordinators assigned to find a good seminar venue at the
right price.
